Sandy,

Sorry for bothering you off-list about this, but I wanted to see if this
was the same type of behavior as you experience with your W2K SMTP
backup server.

I have each domain setup and it stores and forwards mail for the domains
that I have entered.  However, it for domains not on my box it accepts
the mail and then immediately drops it into the "BADMAIL" folder and
issues a NDR back to the person sending the message saying it can't
deliver it.

This obviously does not seem right.  Windows 2K Server w/ Service Pack
3.  

Thanks for any advice.
Darrell

I am one of those...

I have never had anything but good luck with it.

Dirt-easy.  Takes  less  than  60  seconds  to have it up, secure, and
queueing.

Note  that  it needs to run on Win2K Server to be legal--as a publicly
referenced  server,  it  is  obviously  going  to  handle more than 10
clients (see other threads on this).
